There has been plenty of rain in Melbourne this week but the weather appears to have cleared now and it looks like being a perfect day for racing at Caulfield this afternoon.

The majority of the races on the card have been unaffected by scratchings and both the Zipping Classic and Sandown Guineas will be run with their full field of ten and eleven runners respectively.

The Zipping Classic will be a rematch of last weekend’s Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600m) last weekend, with Precedence and Sertorius doing battle once again, while classy Darley colt Paximadia will be chasing his second straight win in what is set to be his last ever start in Australia in the Sandown Guineas.
